THE ACADEMIC PROCESSION

HONORARY MARSHAL—E. RANDALL BELLOWS, A.B. 737,
PRESIDENT OF THE CLASS OF 1937

PROCESSION MARSHAL—ROBERT ALAN HASLUN, A.B. ’67,
SECRETARY OF THE COLLEGE

The outdoor Academic Procession has its antecedents in medieval Oxford University. The Procession is de-
signed so that each graduating senior passes before each faculty member one final time before the conferring of
the degrees. The colorful nature of the Procession comes from the academic hoods worn by the faculty. The
hoods are lined with silk in the official academic color or colors of the institution which granted the faculty
member’s degree; they are trimmed in velvet the color indicating the discipline to which the degree pertains.

The audience will rise when the procession moves down the aisle.

VIII. CONFERRING OF THE AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

IX.

PRESIDENT STARR

Candidate for the Award for Distinguished Service to the Community

Arthur Henry Clark, quiet preservationist of Oberlin’s history, honest builder of her present, and tena-

cious believer in Oberlin’s future

The candidate will be presented by James Leo Walsh,

Professor of Sociology

B.A., Cleveland College, 1952. Arthur H. “Kenny” Clark
was born in Cleveland. He moved to Oberlin as a child, grad-
uated from Oberlin High School, and attended Oberlin Col-
lege after navy service in World War II. In 1948, Clark began
his construction company with his brother Bill; his sons are
now part of the firm. In 1978 Clark was named Oberlinian of
the Year by the Oberlin News-Tribune, which commented,

“Clark has been good for Oberlin. He has maintained an ex-
traordinarily high standard . . . (and is) scrupulously fair in
business dealings. He has extended the hand of friendship
and help to many when they neither asked nor expected it.”
The recently erected bandstand echoing an Asian festival cart
on the College’s Tappan Square was made possible by Clark’s
1986 gift to Oberlin College of real estate.

ERICH BLOCH, DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

Educated in electrical engineering at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of
Zurich, Switzerland; B.S., University of Buffalo, 1952. Erich Bloch is director
of the National Science Foundation (NSF), an agency charged with strength-
ening the national scientific research potential, with improving science and
engineering education at all levels, and with increasing the interchange of sci-
entific information among scientists in the U.S. and abroad. Before joining
the NSF, Bloch was vice president for technical personnel development at IBM
Corporation, which he joined in 1952 as an electrical engineer. In the late 1950s
and early 1960s he was the engineering manager of IBM’s STRETCH super-
computer system developed under contract from Los Alamos National Labo-
ratory of the Atomic Energy Commission. In 1962 he headed development of
the solid logic technology program, which provided IBM with microelectronic
technology for its System/360 computer. He was subsequently appointed a

vice president of the company’s Data Systems Division and general manager of
the East Fishkill facility, which develops and manufactures semiconductor
components used in most of IBM’s product line. He was elected an IBM vice
president in 1981. From 1981 to 1984 Bloch was chair of the Semiconductor
Research Cooperative, a group of computer and electronic firms that funds
advanced research in universities and shares in the results. He was also the
IBM representative on the board of the Semiconductor Industry Association.
In 1985 President Reagan awarded Bloch the National Medal of Technology
for his part in pioneering developments related to the IBM/360 computer that
“revolutionized the computer industry.’ He is a member of the National
Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, and a member of the Institute’s Computer Society.

tion. In 1984 he was named chief executive officer, chairman, and president of

Phibro-Salomon, and since May 1986 he has headed the newly named Salo-
mon Inc. Gutfreund has served as president and a member of the board of

ELLEN TAAFFE ZWILICH, DOCTOR OF MUSIC

B.Mus., M.Mus., Florida State University, 1962; Ph.D., The Juilliard School,
1975. Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is the recipient of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Music,
the first woman ever to receive this award. Born in Miami, Fla., Zwilich began
composing when she was 10 years old and was producing full-scale orchestral
symphonies by the time she was 18. She studied with Elliot Carter and the late
Roger Sessions at the Juilliard School; in 1975 she became the first woman to
earn a doctorate in composition at Juilliard. Soon after Zwilich completed her
doctoral degree, Pierre Boulez programmed her “Symposium for Orchestra”
(1973) in New York, and it was later played by the American Symphony
Orchestra under Kazuyoshi Akiyama. Since then she has received numerous
awards and commissions. She has received the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge

tional composition competition in Vercelli, Italy, and an award from the

“undetermined.” Formerly bishop of Lesotho (1977-78) and then Johannes-
burg (1984-86), Archbishop Tutu was installed in September 1986 as arch-
bishop of Cape Town, thus becoming the first black to head the Anglican
Church in the See of South Africa. Archbishop Tutu is chairman of the South
African-based Educational Opportunities Council, which selects black South
African students to attend U.S. colleges and universities under the U.S.-based
South African Education Program (SAEP). From 1978 through 1984 Arch-
bishop Tutu served as general secretary of the South African Council of
Churches; the council represents some 13 million Christians, more than
80 percent of them black, and devotes much of its budget to legal
and other services for imprisoned blacks and those detained without trial. His
published works include the books Crying in the Wilderness (1982) and Hope
and Suffering (1984).

Baird Rockefeller Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York
State Council on the Arts, and the Norlin Foundation; a Guggenheim
Foundation fellowship for composition; and the Ernst von Dohnanyi Cita-
tion. The composition which earned Zwilich the Pulitzer Prize is the Sym-
phony No. I (Three Movements for Orchestra). In 1984 the Indianapolis Sym-
phony Orchestra commissioned Zwilich’s “Celebration for Orchestra” as the
first work to be performed in its new concert hall. Zwilich’s Piano Concerto,
commissioned by Carnegie Hall, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the
American Symphony Orchestra League, was composed in 1986 for the winner
of the International American Piano Competition. Other projects include a
ballet for Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet and a work for two
pianos and orchestra performed March 28 for the opening of the National
Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., by the National Sym-
phony Orchestra.
